The Portland Press Herald reports the webcam is operated by the National Audubon Society and Explore.org. A mating pair reared the chicks this year and the birds were near the point of fledging, or taking flight, when the eagle attacked.

Experts say the chick that leaped from the nest took its first flight. An intern found the bird perched high in a nearby tree. The webcam showed the two surviving birds in the nest on Wednesday.
